Monks Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 New to setting up servers. I want to setup my server so that people can connect remotely to the machine. Server 2008 R2. The machine is behind a D-Link router that is behind a cable modem. I currently have the machine set to a static IP but I am having trouble connecting to it remotely. Quote
iphonogasm Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 Hi, welcome to the forums have you set up a forward at your router, is the port forwarding to the right destination? also check your firewall in server 2008, make sure there is an exception for Remote Desktop, or create one on port 3389. Enable RDP and select users! :) Quote
Monks Posted March 19, 2012 Author Posted March 19, 2012 Doh! Do I need to forward the port on the router only? Or the router and the cable modem? Quote
iphonogasm Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Wherever the incoming connection is, and you may need to check the firewall on the router. When you say router, are you using a router as switch? or is it only a switch? Quote
Monks Posted March 22, 2012 Author Posted March 22, 2012 Im using the router as mainly an AP. I have DHCP and the wireless signal turned off. Quote
iphonogasm Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 forward it at the cable modem then. First point of entry for internet this should work fine! Quote
